Sorry if I am getting to be too much with these shots, just like to hear/see what you like, and don't like.. it helps me a lot!

The last one was taken in haste.. the goose was in a mess with an old fishing line as I explained in my last post., the rest are just straight shots,

thanks for looking! any critique welcome!

o ya.. hey Canoncan.. do you see the extra bird in #7??? I didn't notice it while I was there at all!! Good camouflage I guess.. What the heck is that species., never saw it before in Canada! He showed up in a few other shots, but this is the best look at him.

Wow. No seriously, you've really impressed me with these. It looks like the best series yet. I won't pick out a favourite because I can't chose. I do like the wabbit, oh and the line of geese, ah, and the....

I really hate that alst one though. I feel sorry for him.

That is a young Blue Heron. All your shots are very nice Raymond. Very well done. Love the up close and personal rabbit shots as well.

wow, cool!! thanks Conk! I had no Idea.. I will investigate further and see what I can scoop! Thanks so much for your inspiration everyone!

Kalee.. #1 was taken this am at about 7:00. This gentleman came down to the lake around the same time I did, sat down to read the paper., It was so calm and peaceful here.. I said hello as I walked by him, and he has a extraordinary kind face and demeanor. The photo is straight off the cam, no cropping.. I just had to touch up my horrid sensor dust marks.. going to bye a second d70 sometime this summer, so I don't need to change lenses so often,, ( advice from Airic)

I would never had posted the last 2 shots, but there was a story behind them.. maybe I should have posted them somewhere else?

and don't feel too sorry Ferny., I freed that goose from the fishing line.

truly great series, love the sillhouette, and #3 in particular, good work.

Good pictures again. Good catch on the first one. As far as the gooslings pictures go #6 is my favourite, its well framed with little distraction and more intimate. Really like the fact the goosling is so dirty.
